Happiness, Peace, and Chasing the Dream

There’s a long road ahead of me. From learning marketing to conquering self-doubt and executing the vision I’ve laid out. I have a lot to do and a lot to learn.

But what I wanted to reflect on today was Happiness and Peace.

This has been my dream for years and years, and pursuing it makes me feel like a part of me that was long neglected has finally been brought into alignment.

While I certainly have my doubts and my stresses, I find my new work much less stressful than my old job. I’m getting more of the sleep I need. I’m taking better care of myself spiritually.

In my day-to-day work, I find myself filled by a quiet happiness and a deep peace.

A stark reality underlies everything: I must become profitable at what I’m doing or else find some other way to provide for my family.

But I am not discouraged, but rather filled with hope and expectation.

I will pursue my dream. I will help people - Heck, I already have!

Bit by bit I will build the dream into reality. Whatever happens, God is good, and I’m sure we’ll make it through.

Lord, may Your will be done.

Amen.
